Electricity corporation union occupies building issuing property tax in
Athens tonight, as wildcat occupations and strikes spread across the country

Thursday, October 13, 2011

A few hours ago, GENOP (the trade union of DEI, the Public Power
Corporation) has occupied the building where the company’s bills in
Athens are issued. The move came as a protest against the imposed
property tax. Already, hundreds of people in solidarity are gathered at
the spot (247, Pireaus Avenue near Tauros). Already, the minister of
development (Papakonstantinou, the ex-minister of Finance) has requested
the intervention of an attorney general in order for the occupation to end.

Meanwhile, the occupation of ministries and other public buildings is
spreading wildly ahead of the General Strike of October 19th. As for the
strikes:

- There will be no public transportation in Athens on Thursday and
Friday (at least), as all workers (except for the suburban railway) have
called for a 48-h strike.

- Taxi drivers have also called for a strike on Friday, and will decide
future mobilisations on the day.

- ADEDY (the civil servants union) has asked GSEE (the main reformist
trade union) to turn Wednesday’s strike into a 48-hour one.

- School teachers are holding a 48h strike next week (Wednesday and
Thursday) and will call for rolling 5-day strikes thereafter.

- Lawyers are abstaining from their duty from tomorrow (Thursday) until
October 19

- Workers at the ministry of Finance have declared a 10-day strike, from
October 17-27

- Custom duty workers have also called for a 10-day strike (October 14-24)

- Workers at tax offices are striking between October 17-20

- Workers in banks are also striking between October 18-19

- All publicly-owned media workers are calling for a 48-hour strike from
Thursday to Saturday

- Museums and archaeological sites will be shut on Wednesday and
Thursday due to the strike.

- Workers at local prefectures and ports are also striking. All ports
will be shut between October 17-19.
